    I saw that auction last night. Looked shady to me. No full scan of the front is a big red flag.

    Nice catch on finding the real front.

    Hard to say. For one thing, I cant understand why someone would crop out the majority of the psa holder and just show the card. Look at the feedback of what he buys. He certainly looks like he buys legit cards. Ask him for an entire scan of the card. Good luck

    Few things are questionable. 1) Auction started at 548 then he raised it to 588. 2) I emailed him and asked for more scans of the front and back--he responded with my scanner is broken and I had to use my friends. On another note I was going to cnx my VCP sub but this will probably make me keep it.

    Looking for a PSA 7 or 8 Rose..

    Thanks

    Stay away !!! Clearly looks like left to right borders are different from Certified card front.

    Yes; it is bait and switch.

    brown spot below Al Weis is missing in auction
    along with white top corners

    I hate e-bay sellers like this, I am very fast losing faith in anything coming from e-bay
    I need to put together a list of "reputable" sellers, and board members here that I know are honest
    wish I knew some of the e-bay ids of some of you guys selling around here

    Looks like bait and "scam" - He's got a full pic of a slab on another auction so why not this one? Plus he's got a full pic of the back of the Rose so why not the front? Another ebay auction whereby the only way you should buy this is if you could visit the seller and inspect the merchandise before giving him payment. Especially since the price isn't that cheap - not even close to worth the aggravation on this.

    The seller just replied to me and said he posted the full card now. He now has the scan of the card mrmint23 posted. Not nearly as nice looking as the one he originally put up in the auction.

    He is still scamming. He shows 2 different cards in the auction.

    The slabbed one is not the same as the 'cropped' pic. Of course the cropped pic looks sweet.

    Good for you.

    Guess someone could always ask for pic of him holding the card.
